Think Like a White Man: A Satirical Guide to Conquering the World . . . While Black
A bold, satirical humour book on how to achieve success like a Great White Male, which Benjamin Zephaniah called 'the work of a true mastermind'
I learned early on that, for me as a black professional, to rise through the ranks and really attain power, I needed to adopt the most ruthless of mindsets possible: the mindset of the White Man who would tear your cheek from your face before he even considered turning his one first.
Review
"I really can't think of any comedian, satirist or journalist (with a sense of humour) that has made me laugh out so loud and be so stimulated intellectually at the same time. No messing people, Nels Abbey has written the most original book ever . . . It takes hold of your cerebral cortex then grabs your funny bone, and it doesn't let go until the very end. Honestly. Even the appendices shine with brilliance. What kind of book is this? I don't know. Just read it and see how difficult it is to put the label on the work of a true mastermind" -- BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH
"A book like no other, taking you on a thrill ride/thrill guide through the world of default white dominance. Nels Abbey has created a work of the blackest humour (pun intended) and it is unrepentantly rewarding . . . Wicked in every sense of the word." -- JEFFREY BOAKYE ― Observer
"I can't recommend this book enough . . . Hilarious work from Nels Abbey" -- DANE BAPTISTE
"Hugely entertaining and entirely unapologetic . . . as comical as it is bleak" ― Cosmopolitan
"Hilarious . . . This original approach to discussing race is funny, intellectual and timely" ― Independent
"I have no doubt this is the book to shake up 2019 the same way Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race did 2017" -- Derek Owusu ― Big Issue
"Hilariously captures the realities of working in corporate spaces . . . although lighthearted in tone, he approaches the topic with a level of care and understanding that allows readers to engage beyond the satire and confront the ways in which they navigate the workspace" ― Trench
"As humorous as it is dark, this memorable and timely 'self-help gospel' . . . may be one of the most original debuts in years" ― AnOther Magazine
